Chapter 17: Departure
For a few days, although Tang Xiaoman still lived in the palace family, Gong Nianhao could only see Tang Xiaoman a handful of times, so even if Gong Nianhao wanted to talk to Tang Xiaoman, it was very difficult.
"Xiaoman, how is it today? Isn't it better? In order to prevent Gong Nianhao and Tang Xiaoman from meeting, Steward Tang delivered three meals a day to Tang Xiaoman's room.
The schoolwork at the school had already stopped, because of the injury on Tang Xiaoman's forehead, the injury was not serious, but it looked very terrifying, so after consulting with Tang Xiaoman, he wanted the school to apply for a long vacation. And Steward Tang's side also took care of Tang Xiaoman at home.
It's just that Tang Xiaoman has become more and more silent since that incident, and he is always immersed in his own thinking and can't extricate himself. It was often called several times before she could react.
Steward Tang knew that Tang Xiaoman's behavior was caused by Gong Nianhao, and he was even more dissatisfied with Gong Nianhao.
"Xiaoman? Xiaoman? Steward Tang called Tang Xiaoman.
"Huh? Don Papa? There you are. Tang Xiaoman came back to his senses and looked at the kind old man in front of him.
"Well, are you hungry? Get up and eat. Steward Tang didn't point out Tang Xiaoman's abnormality.
"Thank you, Daddy Tang." Tang Xiaoman hooked the corners of his mouth, wanting to show that he was fine.
But her bitter expression made Steward Tang feel even more distressed when she saw it.
"Girl, we don't need to say thank you between father and daughter." Steward Tang gently rubbed Tang Xiaoman's head.
"Girl, let's move out of the palace house, okay?" Steward Tang released a bomb declaration.
Tang Xiaoman's eating hand suddenly stopped, she lowered her head, and was silent for a long time.
Steward Tang knew that she was reluctant to Gong Nianhao, but as a father, she was more worried that her daughter would be hurt. Although Gong Nianhao is not a child with very bad morals, he is still young and has no ability to deal with things, he can't rest assured that he entrusts Tang Xiaoman to Gong Nianhao, and the last time the campus violence, Gong Nianhao has not given himself an explanation until now, this time he hurt Tang Xiaoman with his own hands, and he was distressed when he saw Tang Xiaoman's injury, not to mention Tang Xiaoman, who loved Gong Nianhao.
"Girl, let's get out of here, okay? If we change schools and environments, you may be happier. Steward Tang was ruthless and persuaded Tang Xiaoman, he didn't want to see Tang Xiaoman hurt again, and it might be better to leave.
"Daddy Tang, I don't want to leave." Tang Xiaoman said what was in his heart with tears in his eyes.
"Daddy Tang, I may be crazy, even if Gong Nianhao doesn't love me, ignores me, or even does something to me, I still love him. What should I do? Tang Xiaoman paused, buried his head in Steward Tang's arms, and cried loudly.
"Girl, Dad understands, Dad understands. But girl, I can't see you being wronged! I'm so disappointed in Gong Nianhao. You're my baby, and he's treating you like chaff. I was so angry. I can't forgive him for doing this to you. Steward Tang's eyes also moistened. He hugged Tang Xiaoman, caressed Tang Xiaoman's back with guilt, and comforted Tang Xiaoman's collapsed emotions.
"Daddy Tang, what should I do? I can't live without him. Tang Xiaoman said bitterly.
"Girl, listen to Dad, let's leave for a while, I know you love Gong Nianhao, but I think these things happen because Gong Nianhao doesn't cherish you, if he loves you too, he will come to you. All right? Steward Tang said his thoughts, he knew that it was really difficult to accept the fact that Tang Xiaoman would accept leaving the palace Nianhao at once. However, it may be better to let Tang Xiaoman leave with hope.
"Daddy Tang, can you give me some time? I want to say goodbye to him. Tang Xiaoman resigned himself to agreeing to Steward Tang's proposal.
"Okay, girl, just do what you want, okay?" Steward Tang looked at Tang Xiaoman's eyes and encouraged.
"Daddy Tang, let me be willful once, okay?" The corners of Tang Xiaoman's mouth pulled up a smile that didn't look like a smile.
Steward Tang wiped the tears from Tang Xiaoman's face, nodded, hugged Tang Xiaoman again, and gave her strength.
As soon as Gong Nianhao came home from school that day, he went straight to Tang Xiaoman's room, and today Tang Steward and Grandpa went out to run errands. He finally had a chance to see Tang Xiaoman's reply.
Gong Nianhao came to the door of Tang Xiaoman's room, raised and lowered his hand, back and forth several times. Will Tang Xiaoman allow him to enter? What do you want to say to Xiaoman after you go in? Xiaoman's injury was caused by him, although it was unintentional. But, will Koman forgive him?
When Gong Nianhao was nervous and hesitant, Tang Xiaoman's door suddenly opened. Gong Nianhao looked at Tang Xiaoman who came out of the room in astonishment. The injury on Tang Xiaoman's face has improved a lot, and he doesn't want to be so terrible at the beginning, Gong Nianhao looked at Tang Xiaoman distressedly, raised his hand and wanted to touch Tang Xiaoman's forehead, but Tang Xiaoman pretended to be inadvertently and dodged.
Gong Nianhao withdrew his hand embarrassedly, and greeted Tang Xiaoman with an unnatural expression: "Hi! Xiaoman. ”
Tang Xiaoman walked past Gong Nianhao with a calm face, "Do you want to eat?" I was hungry and came out to cook and eat. ”
Gong Nianhao was overjoyed when he heard Tang Xiaoman asking his opinion: "Mmmm, okay, I want to eat too, I will eat what you do." ”
Tang Xiaoman opened the refrigerator and looked at the ground with a complicated expression. After a while, Tang Xiaoman came back to his senses and didn't make any response, just took the ingredients he needed out of the refrigerator.
Gong Nianhao diligently took the ingredients from Tang Xiaoman's hand, and said flatteringly: "I'll help you wash it." Then, standing at the sink, I washed carefully.
Tang Xiaoman sighed lightly and didn't say anything, just turned his head to prepare for other things.
The kitchen was silent, neither of them spoke, just doing their own thing, only the sound of water and chopping vegetables could be heard.
After cooking, Gong Nianhao put all the dishes on the table, and then, after setting the plate, he sat on the stool and waited for Tang Xiaoman to take a seat. He sat on the ground where he used to sit side by side with Tang Xiaoman, waiting.
After Tang Xiaoman came out, he walked to the other end and sat down. Gong Nianhao smiled bitterly, he realized that this time Tang Xiaoman was really hurt deeply. It's all your own fault. Although he and Tang Xiaoman have also quarreled, they are not as powerful as this time. It was as if Tang Xiaoman had lost patience with him and lost his love.
"Xiaoman, I'm sorry, you forgive me, I was really too impulsive at the time, I was just jealous. I didn't want to hurt you. Gong Nianhao explained eagerly.
"I know. I don't blame you. Tang Xiaoman said calmly.
"Then why do you ......" to me...... Gong Nianhao couldn't ask, he knew that he had hurt Tang Xiaoman not only physically, but also in his heart.
"Hao, I'...... I decided to transfer schools. Tang Xiaoman was silent for a long time and spoke with difficulty.
"Xiaoman, no, you can't transfer schools." Gong Nianhao walked to Tang Xiaoman's side excitedly, half-kneeling and holding Tang Xiaoman's hand, fiercely opposed.
"Hao, have you ever wondered what our problem is?" Tang Xiaoman looked at Gong Nianhao, who was humbly retained in front of her.
"Xiaoman, don't transfer schools, you can tell me if you have any problems, and I'll change them. Please don't leave me, okay? Gong Nianhao couldn't listen to anything at the moment, he only knew that if he didn't keep it now, Tang Xiaoman would definitely leave him.
"Hao, don't you do this, listen to me, okay?" Tang Xiaoman put down the chopsticks in his hand and faced Gong Nianhao.
"Don't, Xiaoman, don't say it, my heart hurts. Don't leave me. Gong Nianhao refused to listen to anything Tang Xiaoman said.
"Hao, I've already decided. I was meant to tell you about it. But ......" Tang Xiaoman pushed away Gong Nianhao's clenched hand, and no longer looked at Gong Nianhao who was kneeling on the ground. Walk straight back to your room.
Gong Nianhao broke down and shouted, and collapsed in place.
The next day, after Tang Xiaoman and Steward Tang reported to Mr. Gong, they moved out of the palace.
"Old Tang, you just don't live with me, but normal work can't be delayed!" Mr. Gong sent Steward Tang and Tang Xiaoman into the car and admonished.
"Sir, don't worry. I'll arrange Xiaoman first, and then it will work normally. Steward Tang promised Mr. Gong.
"Xiaoman, I've wronged you, I'll educate him well over there from Nian Hao." Mr. Gong held Tang Xiaoman's hand and was reluctant.
"It's okay, Grandpa Gong, it's our juniors who have caused you trouble." Tang Xiaoman comforted Mr. Gong.
"Old Tang, Xiaoman, you go first, don't forget that the palace family is always open for you." Mr. Gong hugged Tang Xiaoman and Butler Tang and said goodbye.
The car took Steward Tang and Tang Xiaoman away.
"Grandpa, where's Xiaoman?" Gong Nianhao looked for Tang Xiaoman's figure as soon as he got out of school, since Tang Xiaoman said goodbye to him yesterday, he was very worried about Tang Xiaoman leaving, originally today he decided not to go to school, guarding Tang Xiaoman's, who knows, early in the morning, grandpa took him to the campus board of directors, and took him directly into class after the meeting, so that he didn't even have a chance to escape.
"Xiaoman? Xiaoman, she is gone. Mr. Gong looked at Gong Nianhao's anxious back and sighed helplessly.
"Let's go? Where to go? Gong Nianhao came to Mr. Gong and asked eagerly.
"I don't know." Mr. Gong refused to answer the question.
"Grandpa, tell me quickly. Xiaoman only said that she was going to transfer schools, she didn't say that she was going to leave the palace family! Gong Nianhao urged Mr. Gong.
"Nian Hao, I'm going to ask you about this matter. Have you and Xiaoman really sat down and communicated well? Mr. Gong asked Gong Nianhao.
Gong Nianhao was speechless for a while.
"Nian Hao, let me ask you again, so many things have happened during this time, have you really thought about Xiaoman?" Mr. Gong continued to ask.
Gong Nianhao opened his mouth and couldn't answer any questions.
"Nian Hao, you can't answer anything, so why did you let Xiaoman stay in the palace house?" Mr. Gong said indignantly.
Gong Nianhao was speechless, he always thought that Tang Xiaoman would not leave him if he loved him, so he really squandered Tang Xiaoman's love. During this time, although he was helping Tang Xiaoman find out the mastermind, he made little profit, and even made Tang Xiaoman cannon fodder.
He had nothing more to say.
"Grandpa, will Xiaoman come back?" Gong Nianhao asked cautiously.
"I guess so." Mr. Gong looked at his grandson with some unbearable feelings, and gave his grandson some thoughts.
"I'll bring Xiaoman back, I won't break his heart again." Gong Nianhao said firmly.
Mr. Gong nodded appreciatively, "Bring Xiaoman back through your own efforts, and I'll wait for your good news." “
Gong Nianhao nodded, he said goodbye to Mr. Gong, turned around and calmed down.
The first thing to get Xiaoman back is to find out the mastermind and stop letting some miscellaneous things affect them. As for the man who has an intimate relationship with Tang Xiaoman, he has to find a time to meet for a while.
